IAEA is also assisting the nuclear regulatory authority of Ukraine in the regulatory process of decommissioning the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and in the development of an approach for characterizing and managing radioactive residual material resulting from investigating the status of the shelter and its reconstruction and or repair.

For example, Japan s nuclear regulatory authority was not sufficiently independent, and oversight of the plant operator, TEPCO, was weak.

Japan s nuclear regulator did not enforce stricter security rules.

It is charged with preparing and presenting an opinion on the regulatory standards that would ensure radiological protection and nuclear safety.

But, prior to both Japan s nuclear crisis and the financial crisis, regulators were unable to prevent the risk.

Creating a common supervisory authority will mean nothing unless it can clean up the mess created by the existing supervisors.

That will include better harmonization of national regulatory approaches to ensure at all times high quality, independent oversight for nuclear activities.

Materials are processed in a similar way to other non nuclear production lines, with the difference that more exacting safety, security and regulatory procedures are required.

And, given the deep disparities in nuclear power s importance for European economies, consensus on regulatory harmonization is hard to reach.

The Office for Civil Nuclear Security (OCNS), which is part of the Department of Trade and Industry, is the national security regulatory authority for the UK's civil nuclear industry.

Slovakia stated that the authority that would furnish copies of its relevant laws and regulations in accordance with the provision contained in article 13, paragraph 5, of the Convention was the Ministry of Justice.

Despite this alarming conclusion, the study did not prompt the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to order utilities to remove spent fuel from overcrowded pools at more than 100 US commercial reactors.

David Cameron s new government in the United Kingdom apparently came to the same conclusion when it announced plans to transfer regulatory authority from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to the Bank of England.

In fact, in order to market or to test a pharmaceutical product in most countries, adverse event data received by the license holder (usually a pharmaceutical company) must be submitted to the local drug regulatory authority.
